1600-foot segments arriving from colorado in a few days. the old wooden ties have been replaced with concrete ties which are quieter and last longer. >> along with new tracks and new ties, there also has to be new ballasts. that's the loose rock that gets mounted underneath the track. they are loading it here to bring it there to train cars. >> the hope is that the train will be a reliable alternative to the often congested highway 101. the train will travel at up to 79 miles an hour. though it's not the entire system approved pure years ago, they insist it will be effective. >> it captures about 70% or 80% of the whole ridership in the whole project before we phase it. and we anticipate building the rest of the project as the sales tax revenues increase and we get additional funding. >> the first trains arrive a year from now to beginning testing with the system opening for business in 2016. abc7 news.

new this morning, one of the wealthiest bay area communities has received quite a windfall after facebook moved its headquarters to menlo park. atherton has received $350,000 from the social media giant to quiet concerns about increased traffic. today san francisco chronicle reports the payment was made by facebook to appease concerns in neighboring communities. atherton leaders are still deciding how to spend that money. thousands of non-native critters are being plucked out

of san francisco's mountain lake park. it's part of an effort to bring back the lake's natural ecology. mountain lake in the richmond district is part of the residio run by the national park service. it's goal is to to keep preserves the way nature made them. the four-acre pond is one of the few natural bodies of water in the city. over the years people have been dumping invasive fish, turtles and other creatures in the lake from home aquariums. now crews are using nets to scoop out some of the innovators, including at least 500 young carp, a large mouth bass, and that's just so far. >> good day to go to the lake if you bundle up. >> that's right. a little bit warmer today but it will continue throughout the middle of the work week. headed outside it was frosty in the sierra nevada this morning with 0 in truck tee and 4 at the tahoe valley airport this morning. plenty of lows across the

sacramento valley. the frost advisory has been lifted, allowed to expire. and locally back home you see it's pretty nice and sunny here. the average high this time of year in oakland is 64. we are shy of that. probably by tuesday there will be more seasonable temperatures around the bay. live temperature hd. a little fog was withnous the early morning hours but right now it's quiet out there. we will look for the winds to be more of a southerly component today. out ahead of the next cold front. we will show did you to you and see whether or not it will bring us rain. everyone has warmed up into the 40s. of course, that's relative. 50 half moon bay. many locations dropped into the 30s this morning from the coast to hollister and san jose. our east bay was even colder. we did manage numbers below freezing in our north bay valleys. but we are looking at a warmer night tonight, despite the chill this morning and 9 degrees of

cooling compared to yesterday. the numbers going in the opposite direction. so we will look for some changes, though, in our seven-day outlook. starting with today. with numbers coming up anywhere from two to four degrees and that will allow for us to retain some of that heat tonight. i think some high clouds are going to move in ahead of a cold front. and with that cloud cover the radiational cooling not quite as intense so that will allow for a warmer night tonight. and showers look to return to parts of the bay area by the end of the work week. so here's a look at our pacific satellite picture. you will notice the cold front to the north of us. it will begin to shift a little bit further south tomorrow. but today it's weak high pressure building in that keeps us sunny. and the numbers beginning to edge up a little bit. but southerly winds out ahead of the next front will allow for more warming in the days ahead. notice the front continues to stay to the north. it wants to sag a little south right on through tuesday but really not going to make it

anywhere close to the bay area. and wednesday, into thursday, the showers getting close, remaining offshore. some of these may sneak in come thursday night into friday. it looks like the that you is on for the sierra nevada after today. 41 for a high after today. the no is over. 60 in fresno with 68 in los angeles. but ball ago good base up there. temperatures today ranging from the mid-50s at our coast with the light west wind. 61 oakland with 61 in concord and livermore. san jose warming up to about 60. you should be about 6ed this time of year. should reach that by the middle of the week. 60 in salinas. the little warmup coming. a beautiful day for veteran's day today." looking at the increasing clouds for thursday. maybe some showers into the north bay through friday and it looks like we could see a pretty significant storm next weekend. still kind of far out, but that would be exciting. >> get back to your computer and let's figure it out.

>> see if it will happen. >> thank, lisa. steven spielberg's new fill "lincoln" is in select theaters this weekend and opens nationwide next week. based on a book, it centers on lincoln's fight to end slavery. abc7 news, arts and entertainment reporter don sanchez calls it ethic. here's his on the isle review. >> the fate of human dignity in our hands. blood has been spilled to afford us this moment. now, now, now! >> abraham lincoln, the civil war and his effort to pass a constitutional amendment that abolishes slavery. beliefs run deep. this film pulls no punches. lincoln tries to gain support for the bill and end the war. >> i don't think an amendment for this piece you cannot have. >> how many hundreds have died? >> congress must never declare equal those who god declared unequal. leave the constitution alone. >> it puts today's gridlock to

shame. it's fascinating. alongside stephen spielberg's masterful direction, there is daniel day lewis portraying lincoln as a simple, not a terribly sophisticated man with homespun humor. >> it's the self-evident truth, things which are equal to the same things are equal to each other. >> a bit of a loner. there are some surprising things. like when he opens the white house to hear people's problems, or when he rides around in an open carriage. sally fields is great as the troubled mary todd lincoln. by it is about daniel day lewis. >> this very well may be the best picture of the year. you can line up your critics choice awards and our oscars. never seen anything like it. it begins with the battlefield sequence like saving private ryan but then the battleground becomes the floors of congress and the weapons are words, and superbly crafted.

an amazing performance by daniel lewis. you really feel he is lincoln. and expect nominations for sally field and tommy lee jones. it is a spielberg spectacular and i have to give "lincoln" a full bucket. i'm don sanchez, abc7 news and we will see you on the isle. >> coming up next, the thrills, spills and flash down at the red alright let's break it down. mom, pop it. ♪ two inches apart, becky. two inches.

32 teams spread their wings, attempting the longest flight. few of them made it more than ten or fifteen feet. the team that won is from the bay area. they call themselves november mustaches, and they reached a distance of 54 feet into the chilly waters there at mccovey cove. well, today is veteran's day, and so there are lots of events going on. lisa argen here with the final check of the accuweather forecast, how it's going to be for all that. >> definitely starting out cool but a beautiful afternoon with temperatures in the low 60s for the most part. a couple upper 50s. san francisco, palo alto, mid-50s at the coast. plenty of sunshine. and down by the monterey bay also warming up after a very cold start. we have a cold front to the north that's going to stay there. so featuring sunny, warmer conditions through midweek. a little rain maybe north bay end of the week, and looks like maybe we will have a rainy next weekend. >> all right. thank you, lisa. that's going to do it for us.
